Seeing that Lu Wuhu didnât help Ye Mo say anything, Yan Guan breathed easy. He was scared that Lu Wuhu would be domineering and forcefully take away Luo Susu. In order to preserve their face, they could only fight with Lu Wuhu. Even if they won, the result wouldnât be what Yan Guan wanted.
They would also be offending Pill City in the process.
After elder Fan brought up the tournament, Ye Mo didnât let Lu Wuhu forcefully attack and Lu Wuhu didnât stand up himself. This made Yan Guan breathe easy and guess the relationship between the two. If their relationship was really as Ye Mo said, then Lu Wuhu shouldâve said something
Yan Guan saw this detail and so did people from other sects. They were all ancient beings. Ye Mo was so dominant before, but when elder Fan brought up the competition to decide Luo Susuâs husband, Ye Mo didnât rebuke her. The only explanation was that Ye Mo didnât have enough power to back him up or Ye Mo was too impulsive and was tricked by elder Fan.
Ye Mo agreed because he didnât like Wen Caiyi trying to challenge Susu before, saying that Susu wasnât as good as her. So he was going to make Wen Caiyi open her eyes and see how much better Susuâs husband was than the man she was going to choose.
But it was indeed also because he didnât have the power to say no. Pill City was powerful but it was only a threat. If he tried to forcefully take away Beiwei and Susu and forced these 9-star sects into a corner, then a fight would break out. As long as someone held Lu Wuhu down, he would be instantly killed. After he died, what could the Pill City do?
Ye Mo knew that if he continued to be dominant he would anger 9-star sects for sure. He Ling already attacked him and he wouldâve died if it wasnât for Lu Wuhu.
At the same time, Ye Mo felt he miscalculated. He shouldâve invited Yue Qichao. Then, no one would dare to say anything if he tried to take away Susu and Beiwei.
It all came down to power, his power was low and his connections werenât enough. He was only a level seven pill king, he didnât have Yue Qichao and Shen Guanqingâs power and connections. If they were here, perhaps with a single word 9-star sects would help them.
Since the competition was necessary, Ye Mo thought of it as getting back at Wen Caiyi for Susu.
But he wasnât an idiot, since he agreed to the competition, he couldnât keep giving them that much proposal gift.
Ye Mo got up and said again, âSect leader Yan, since you choose the competition, then I will take back my proposal gift. I donât believe every sect who participates in the competition will give as much I as gave. Since sect leader Yan agreed to the competition, then it means youâre giving up my proposal gift. Everyone needs to be equal. I donât think that just because the Black Ice Sect thinks the Pill City is wealthy, I have to pay more in terms of a proposal gift to join the participants. Of course, I donât mind giving more for my proposal gift but I donât believe the Black Ice Sect would take my proposal gift and still make me fight for Susu.â
â....â Hearing this, Yan Guan was dazed. The reason he agreed to this competition was because regardless of whether Ye Mo won or lost, the proposal gift would be theirs.
He had already calculated this. He didnât want to offend Infinity Sect, so let Pill City offend them. If Ye Mo won, then no problem and that was the most satisfying result. But if Ye Mo lost to an ordinary 7-star or 8-star sect, Ye Mo know that those sects wonât dare to fight over Susu with Ye Mo, so Susu would eventually be taken away by Ye Mo.
If Ye Mo lost to a 9-star sect or even Infinity Sect or Lightning Cloud Sect, with how important Susu was to Ye Mo, he would bargain heavily over her. No 9-star sect could compete with Pill City, so Susu would eventually be taken away by Ye Mo and he would still get the proposal gift.
But now, Ye Mo said the proposal gift was no more, how could that be?
But he just agreed to this and now he couldnât regret. He turned around and glared at Fan Lianzhu coldly. If she just agreed to let Ye Mo take away Susu, there wouldnât be so much trouble. Although they would offend Infinity Sect, but they would connect with Pill Cityâs level seven pill king.
Fan Lianzhu calmed down now and knew what she didnât wasnât good. She had never thought of marrying Susu out. If Ye Mo didnât come, then she wouldnât even marry her to Infinity Sect. She rejected core sect membersâ proposals already.
She agreed to Yang Feicheng because firstly, Ye Mo gave her a bad impression, and secondly since she knew Susu would be taken by Ye Mo eventually, as even the Black Ice Sect couldnât fight with Pill City.
So in her anger, she agreed with Yang Feicheng. As for agreeing to the competition, it was completely because she was furious Ye Mo said she was bullshitting.
She calmed down now and knew what she did didnât benefit the sect at all, but she had already done it.
...
In a room at the Black Cloud Peak, Tang Beiwei looked at Luo Ying in confusion. âSister Susu, youâre already golden core state peak stage, why did you suddenly come out of solitary cultivation?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A pale yellow dressed woman sat opposite Tang Beiwei.
Luo Ying frowned. âI feel restless. Itâs as though something is about to happen, so I came out.â
Tang Beiwei heard this and said, âSister Susu, how about I ask master and weâll go visit Qingxue?â
Luo Ying knew Tang Beiwei wanted her to go out and have some fresh air. She smiled sweetly and replied, âIâm fine but we should indeed visit her as well as Luo Fei and Yun Ziyi.â
Tang Beiwei just wanted to speak when her spirit sense scanned a pink dressed lady rushing in. âSister Susu, martial sister Rong is here.â
âMartial sister Rong.â Luo Ying and Tang Beiwei got up.
Zhao Rong looked at Susu and said desperately, âMartial sister Susu, you finished solitary cultivation?â
âYeah martial sister Rong. What happened? Why do you seem very desperate?â Luo Ying asked.
âAlmost all the sects 7-star and above came to Black Ice Peak. I heard itâs for Wen Caiyi choosing a husband. But then the news I got wasnât this, I heard the sect leader and elder Fan are also using this chance to choose a husband for Susu. What do we do?â Zhao Rong was worried. She didnât know who Susuâs husband was, but she knew she had a husband.
âImpossible!â Susu exclaimed with a pale face. Her master was very nice to her, she would never agree to this. This sort of thing had happened more than once and master rejected without hesitation.
âSister Susu...â Tang Beiwei grabbed Luo Yingâs hand worriedly.
âIâll go see master,â Luo Ying said adamantly.
Zhao Rong grabbed Luo Yingâs hand. âPeople at the Black Ice Hall are all powerful people, you wonât be able to get in. Today Infinity Sectâs sect leader brought a proposal gift and then Pill City vice city lord seemed to have a conflict and suddenly he wanted to take you away. So, the two started fighting and then the sect leader agreed to choose a husband through competition like Wen Caiyi.â
âPill City vice city lord is here too?â Tang Beiwei and Susu rarely went out so they didnât kow Ye Mo was vice city lord.
Zhao Rong nodded. âYes, heâs the person Ning Qingxue is married too. He was the pill king tournament number one, Ning Qingxue was taken away by him on the spot and the Ethereal Immortal Pond didnât dare to say anything. I think today might end up the same way.â
Tang Beiwei and Luo Yingâs hands shook.
âNow isnât the time to worry, we need to think of a way...â Zhao Rong started.
âDid Ning Qingxue really get taken away by that city lord? Ning Qingxue didnât resist?â Luo Yingâs tone grew impetuous.
Zhao Rong nodded, âYes, she seemed very intimate with that city lord Ye, she was willing. How could she resist?â
âCity lord Ye?â Tang Beiwei and Luo Ying asked at the same time.
Zhao Rong nodded. âYes, heâs Ye Mo. Heâs not only pill king tournament number one but the honorary vice city lord of Pill City as well. He came to Black Ice Peak today to fight over martial sister Susu with Infinity Sect... Susu, Beiwei, where are you going?â
Zhao Rong hadnât finished but Susu and Beiwei had already charged out towards Black Cloud Peak.
